Construction Line Planning Pool

The Construction Line Planning Pool displays the availability of all components used in the Construction BOM or for individual lines. This page can be opened from either the Construction Order or Construction Inquiry by choosing Functions > Components Planning Pool on the Actions menu, and from the Construction Order lines by choosing Functions > Components Planning Pool on the Lines FastTab (see Component Availability for Construction Order Lines).

General FastTab

The fields in the General FastTab are used to filter the component lines. In addition to shipment date calculation/shipment date, item, variant, and location filters, you can filter the lines to show only components that have a specific reordering policy, those that have the Long-Lead Item toggle turned on in the Item Card, or components that have an availability warning.

Lines

The fields in the lines are similar to those in the various Item Availability by... pages, except for the following fields:

Warning - indicates that the expected inventory is not enough as of the shipment date.
Status - indicates the current status of the Construction BOM/Inquiry line.
Level - indicates the component's BOM level in the Construction BOM/Inquiry line.
Shipment Date - indicates when the component must be available.
Exp. Quantity (Base) - indicates the expected quantity of the needed component in base units of measure from the Construction BOM/Inquiry line.
Purchase Exists - indicates if (and the type of) a purchase document exists for the needed component.

The Refresh action allows you to update the values in the page due to changes like filtering or document creation.

Purch. G/L Acc./Item

The Purch. G/L Acc./Item action allows you to create purchase documents (purchase quote/order or requisition line) for the components using the same function that is available from the Construction Order. For more information, see Create Purchase Documents for G/L Accounts and Components.

You can create purchase documents for all filtered lines or only selected lines. If you choose all lines, then requisition lines will be created automatically. If you choose individual lines, you can choose either a purchase order or requisition line.

You can create purchase documents for all filtered lines or only selected lines. If you choose all or multiple lines, then requisition lines will be created automatically. If you choose an individual line, you can choose either a purchase quote/order or requisition line.

Note

If the Warning Filter toggle is turned on when the Purchase G/L Acc./Item action is run, then a message will open asking whether purchase documents should be created for all filtered components. Choose the No button to only generate purchase documents for the selected components.

Component Availability for Construction Order Lines

When accessing the Construction Line Planning Pool page from the Construction Order lines (Functions menu on the Lines FastTab), the components shown are based on whether the selected line is an assembly item or not.

If the selected line is an assembly item, then the Construction Line Planning Pool page opens with the components of the lower level will be shown. For example, the selected item is the assembly item (Level 1), so the Level 2 components of the assembly will be shown; if selected item is a Level 2, then all Level 3 components will be shown, and so on.
If the selected line is not an assembly item, then the Construction Line Planning Pool page opens with all of the components at the same level as the selected line. For example, the selected item is at level 1, so all Level 1 components in the BOM will be shown.
